Saw on Jenny Nicholson’s channel it was so funny I had to read it myself. If you go into this just viewing it as an absurd Star Wars fanfiction I think you will have a good time.

Read this one for the character name. Wish it was better, glad it wasn't worse.
Jass (I'm-totally-not-a-certain-sith-lord) and Reza (personality-stripped-to-be-his-mate) are not the most exciting leads. The (see-I-detach-from-my-moon-sized-base-I'm-legally-distinct-from-the-DeathStar) Nexus is not as impressive as I'm sure it's supposed to be. The sudden stop is not an ending.

3.5 stars !
I really enjoyed this read and let's be honest, the only reason I picked it up was because it I heard this was Reylo in a book! Reylo being Rey and Kylo Ren (aka Ben Solo) in the new Star Wars trilogy!
Anyways, this story was similar to them yet so different! I loved their dynamic and I love the complexity of Jass Beylar! He was so evil and there was no excuse for it but he had good in him too and those good moments were so beautiful!
There was a lag in the story which kind of made it lose some of its impact but by the 65% mark it picked up and it was PHENOMENAL.

Sci-fi is pretty far removed from what I read. But when given the chance to read Black moon Rising, I knew I needed to jump in with both feet. And I'm happy I did.
Alternating chapters with dual point of views...I loved knowing what the characters were thinking without having to guess what the author was thinking.
Resa & Jass are two characters that are so completely different, yet completely the same.
Frankie Campbell did a marvelous job grabbing my attention and holding it firmly. Love, suspense, action. This story has it all.
I need a follow up book immediately because I must know what happens!

I'm so disappointed in myself, i feel it's my fault that i just couldn't love this book, the writing was good, the story was good but i just couldn't bring myself the love the characters. At first i was intrested in Jass because lets face it you always love the male mote but i just eh i think it's mostly my fault because I'm in a funky mood.
But don't let my review base your option to by it, I'll probably go back in a few weeks and absolutely love this book and kick my book funky self in the butt.

Huhhhhhh WHERE IS THE REST?!?!?! I'M GOING TO NEED THE REST OF THIS STORY ASAP OR I WILL RIOT. This has a sequel right??? It doesn't end like this? Someone's going to have to clear this up for me because HOLY COW I WILL GO INSANE.
I really, REALLY ended up enjoying this. It started off with a bang, hooked me right in.
The middle part is the reason why this is getting a 4 stars and no more. It got a bit slow, slower than I prefer.
BUT, with that being said, the last 35% of this book had me on the edge of my seat. I did NOT know what to think, who to trust, what to expect. I was completely at the mercy of this story.
Still am, considering how it ended. Is that a cliffy?? I'm borderline pissy about this because for some reason I thought this was a standalone but I'm thinking that ending was a sure cliffy. And cliffies mean there's... more coming? AGAIN, I WILL ASK, THERE'S MORE COMING RIGHT?
The characters were interesting (and somewhat similar-ish to Rey and Kylo from Star Wars which was GREAT). Jass is... damn, no words. That man is a lot of things, one of those being H.O.T. He's also quite conflicted which I loved, troubled heroes have always been my personal favs.
I also quite liked Reza! I like that it took her a while to give in, I respect her for that because it proves she respects herself.
All in all, REALLY ENJOYED IT. I need to know what the fuck happens next. What, when, how, who, the fuck? I'm so shaken up I don't know how to use my words anymore. So, I'll come back tomorrow to rewrite this review and make it a little bit more professional. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll be able to voice my thoughts properly. In the meanwhile, I'll stay shooketh.

Basically just a Reylo fic, but at least it was entertaining! A good way to tide myself over until Rise of Skywalker drops.
